Persistence is key. My argie was a little spitfire the first few months but quickly calmed down and hasn’t so much as huffed at me in probably half a year now. Will have had her for a year next week

Re: This is Grimm
Grimm's getting big! He looks great too! I'm surprised he's still being hissy. My BCO chilled out about two months after I got her. I hope he mellows out for you. I wouldn't want to deal with a 8-10 ft beast of a boa. :)

He's definitely bigger, trying to grow him slow though. Him still being hissy and bite-happy is completely our fault. Just haven't handled him consistently enough. We've gotten serious about it in the past couple of weeks because I also told my husband I have no interest in trying to handle a possibly 8'+ monster. 🙂 He's already a bit better. I think upgrading his cage in the next few weeks will help as well because we'll have more room to work with the hook training. Right now how his cage is makes it way too easy for him to square up on us, and he's not interested in snapping out of it a lot of the time, so getting him out is always an adventure.
